ORION Full Review Kings Island - THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2020
- Kings Island Announced its Newest roller coaster Orion last year. Its a Giga Coaster and features a 300 foot drop. I got a chance to ride it in the first few days of operation and what a great job the park did with this new addition. Kings Island is considered on of the best parks in the world and now having a rare Giga coaster to add to the already impressive lineup truly puts it in an elite category. This is my Full Review on Orion and what it means for Kings Island and how it stacks up against others like intimidator 305, Millennium Force and Fury 325. Its gonna take more rides before I can decide on which one is my favorite. Thanks so much for watching and if you haven't I hope you will consider subscribing to my channel.

Yet again another fantastic video man.... everything was spot on- the editing, audio, and b-roll👍 I cant stop watching your videos!!!
Thank you so much for the support!!!! I really appreciate it
I would second this. I am always impressed by the top notch quality of your videos. The editing is fantastic and so smooth. Thanks for the great video and keep them coming!
@@kenwhite731 this dudes honestly passionate about coasters its awesome
Freaking loved Orion!!! Note to all frankly ‘spoiled’ enthusiasts, this ‘Giga’ (and it’s a Giga) is flatout fast, fun, and in no way do you feel like you got ‘shorted’. Steepest (and best) drop of all Giga’s, only ‘wave turn’ of all of them and it’s ‘unique’ compared to RMC, best speed hill with ‘flojector’ at what feels like 100mph, and yes, the best themed Giga of all!! Quit complaining and go ride already!!
And OkayCoasters, freaking spot on analysis and as always, best editing of ANYONE!!
I'll take 20 foot more of a drop over 4 degrees of a drop
And almost 40 feet higher and 2000 foot longer I'll take over 4 degrees
Someone said vortex has more airtime than Orion
Its great for theme parks in general and I celebrate it, but also, in the friendly sport of banter/opinion, I humbly disagree. RMC's have impossible, disorienting turns and low to the ground inversions that weren't possible before, all through a lattice structure. How can you say this is 'unique"? It's a 4 person, GP monster. Plain vanilla.
Shao Dynasty but there’s only a 20 foot difference in the drop
I am still trying to figure out why okaycoasters doesn't have 150k subs. The footage, the commentary the editing, the music, the overall vibe of this channel is so great!
Thank you so much !!!
I got so happy when you said that people say King’s Island is the best parks in the world. I worked for Kings Island and it’s my home park so my heart is filled of so much joy! I’m glad you liked Orion❤️
Thank You!!! It really is such a great park!!!
okaycoasters I worked in park services and take pride in our park ❤️
Gosh dang it I forgot how incredible everything about this channel is, editing, script, footage
Amazing
Thank You!!!!
This ride impressed me. It blew my minds with that first drop. Especially in the back row. It throws you over it and you just fly through the layout. My favorite coaster at my home park.
Nice !!!!
Every video of yours is like a cinematic event. Every time I get a notification from your channel it excites me. Keep up the great content
Thank you !!!!
I watched this again after riding Orion this season for Kings Island's 50th anniversary season, and Orion is STILL an awesome ride. Your video shows the details in the queue areas and again your narrations are absolutely the BEST. Thank you for all you do
This is the best drop of any coaster I have ridden. It felt bigger than Millennium Force. Ive never floated out my seat on any other drop like this one it was bliss. I have to assume Fury or Leviathan are the same. Orion's drop does not even feel like a coaster it really feels like you have dived over a 30 story cliff.
This was WAY more then just a review... this was an experience
A M A Z I N G😍😍😍 I love the editing and effort put into this video! Your work that you put into each and every video really does pay off, and I think I speak for everyone who watches your videos when I say YOU DESERVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS THAN WHAT YOU GET!!! Keep making great videos dude😁
Thank you so much again! I always appreciate your support!!!
Thanks for the review, I’m excited to ride this one. Editing top notch as always!
Much appreciated!
It is excellent. The storytelling elements are great. The ride may be a tad short but it's comfortable, fun and stunningly presented. I love it.
i dont understand why people thought that wave turn would give good airtime, it wasnt even a wave turn it was a stengel dive, but for some reason people called it a wave turn, and look at the shape of it, like how would someone think that it could provide strong airtime
yeah, everything has to be about airtime, and nobody can just apprefiate a fun element! :D
Lol I keep seeing you in every video but yeah I agree I’m not sure why some people thought you would get a whole bunch of airtime from it. It is still really fun and provides a small pop of airtime.
Smc7737 it’s literally a giant Stengel dive, it banks inwards so if it gave anything it would be positives, that also answers the dumb people’s question of why it faces away from the park
I actually get a bit of lateral airtime everytime I ride it😂 maybe it’s just because I’m pretty skinny! All 11 times I’ve ridden it this summer, I’ve experience lateral airtime on that thing! So fun! It also broke my mask 😂 so will always remember that!
Sedric Granger oh yeah totally, thought it is little, it is very fun airtime.
Oh look... another quality review we were all waiting for...
I like it
Your videos are amazing, you deserve so much more attention!!
Thank you very much !!!
This is my home park and this video is amazing! Gives so much joy to all the people who grew up with Kings Island 🙏🏾
Thank You !!!
Another great video!! Love your stuff!!
Thank You !!!!!
Great footage as always! I’m hoping to get out there this year but I may have to wait til next
Thank You !
Great review. I rode it for the first time Friday. My first giga coaster in 20 years. The steepness of the lift hill both in it’s ascent and decent was the most extreme I’ve experienced. I will say that I also rode Diamondback for the first time as well that day and I found that experience to be more memorable than Orion. Still a great coaster I look forward to revisiting
Your videos are what I strive to do with mine! Good job man!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that!!!!
Your videos are frickin awesomen! Keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Is this all your footage? Bro. You’re amazing at filming, editing, & building suspense. Your coverage is awesome. Subscribed.
Thank you so much !!!! It is my footage and I really appreciate the support!!!
Theres no denying its an absolute masterpiece to look at, for me, without a doubt the most majestic coaster I have ever seen!
Awesome video!
Dude.....Hollywood is waiting on you! Real talk....
Haha....Thank you so much, I always appreciate the support!
Love the new intro man!👍🏻 Can’t wait to ride it!
Thank You !!!
I remember being so disappointed my first ride cause one of my friends I went with got kicked off because his restraint didn't come down all the way and it put me in a negative attitude. But man has it gotten better everytime I ride it. It just may be my fav at KI
As usual, love to hear your take and presentation is top notch. When I got my eyes on Orion's layout, I knew the pacing was gonna be great, and had an inkling the drop was steeper than the norm from the first blueprints. Glad to hear my initial impression was correct...now can we maybe start a Change.org petition to kill that trim?
Also, it's not the last 1500' (or maybe 1000'?) of Fury that are the issue, those last few pops of airtime are among B&M's best. It's the dead zone after the treble clef through the helix that's a problem. Orion would definitely have benefited from at least one more element, but it definitely doesn't suffer from having a dead zone.
Thank You!!!! And very true about Fury!!
Once again, great editing!
Thanks !!!
Amazing video! You deserve every sub you have and more. I remmeber when I first watched a video from you when you only had 1k subs. I check back in less than a week to watch another and you were already at 2k. Keep it an you'll reach 100k no problem.
Thank you so much for the support and that nice comment!!!!
@@Okaycoasters you deserve it lmao your video quality is insane. Quality>quantity remember that.
I now live in Texas but The Island is my home and favorite park. I rode my favorite coaster with it debuted in 79. The Beast has always been KI flagship ride. But after 41 years Orion may be the go to ride. Even though it is smaller it is original. It doesn’t have that classic B&M L-Shape out and back design.
Can't wait to get out there ride it. KI has been my family's vacation park growing up. Unfortunately I've haven't made it out there since Banshee opened. Going to be awesome to experience Orion and Mystic Timbers in the same day
Oh yeah!!!! 2 of the best
My home park! Have ridden Orion so many times and it's still the 1 I look forward to the most when we go to KI. Banshee is a close 2nd
This was an excellent video!
Thank You !!!
I love orion. I got 3 rides: front, back, and row 6. In the back i actually got sideways air time on the wave turn and great floater on the speed hill.
Great review!
Thank You !!!!!
Another amazing review
Thanks !!!!
Your videos are always epic
Thank You !!!
As always, perfect music choices!👌
Thanks !!!
I haven’t been back to King’s Island since before they had the Banshee. Really overdue, I live bout 30 minutes away in Hamilton
Wait for 2021, hopefully this mask business will be over by then.
HonduDan Great idea, I’m not a big fan of Gov. Adolph DeWine and his communist mask mandate. Luckily Butler Co. Sheriff said “we ain’t the mask police”. This country turned into communist China overnight, tough to watch
@@AaronF2112 oh man I know, I have Herr Beshear, the DeWine simp, mandating them everywhere in public in the KY. It's absolutely ridiculous man.
Aaron Flick Gov. Pritzker here in Illinois says SFGAm can’t opne until a vaccine is found
I live 14 hours away
12 rides in, and although I stand by the vibration issue, the coaster has grown on me. Great airtime and fantastic speed in the front. Definitely a great coaster with tremendous capacity for the park.
Thats great to hear!!! I wish I could have got more rides on it because everyone keeps saying it grows on you more and more
okaycoasters It really does! You’ll have to get back to the park! I may try to squeeze one more trip in this fall.
Nice review. I hope to be riding it August 8, at the tail end of my long-awaited visits to Hershey, Knoebels, & Kennywood. I've got some really great unridden hypers/gigas coming up!
@Spike Vicious Yes, Kennywood is open. They had delayed opening by only a few days. But it will be limited operations this year, not sure exactly what that means, but I'll be happy with whatever I'm able to do. If I had already visited these PA parks, I would instead have gotten a Kentucky Kingdom pass and spent several days there.
Dude, this is such a great breakdown and review. In fact it's a great stand alone vid, but it just might be your best yet. Seriously.
I'm scheduled to be at Kings Island on the 30th but that might not happen due to the recent Covid surge. It makes me sad, but it is what it is I suppose. That said, I am really looking forward to riding Orion. I love me some speed and this looks like it might be a Giga built more for speed than any of the others outside of I305.
Can't wait to hit that speed hill after hearing you describe it. haha
Really great stuff man.
Question.. what editing software are you using? Is it Premier?
Thanks for posting !!
Thank you very much!!!! You will love the speed hill tho I have heard sometimes its better than others and I may have just got a great ride. I use Final Cut Pro
Highest production quality on the coaster scene, as always 👏🏻💛
Thanks !!!
I was at the announcement of Orion and My life changes forever the chills
Kings island is my home park
Dude! I love your content. I agree that the speed hill was the single greatest element on a giga. I also grayed out a little bit on Orion's belt (the helix). If that trim didn't hit, it would easily be a top 10 for me.
Thank You!!! Yeah that Helix would be wild without the trim before it
Dude that intro was a home run🇦🇼🌴
Thank you so much !!!
Okay but dude you seriously need to make a documentary or music video, this editing is insane
Really good review 👍
Thank You !!!
Hopefully getting on this weekend 🤞🏻
YESSS I haven’t watched yet but I already dropped a like
Haha Thank You !!!!
Just rode it, loved it for the most part. The first drop is just breathtaking, and such a looooong way down at its steepest angle. The wave turn is one of the cooler elements ive experienced, the front right seat gives some good lateral air time and the view, sideways, is so unique at that height. I wish it went further into the woods before turning around, then we could avoid that somewhat rough upward helix before the end of the ride, but the turnaround itself is decent enough. The speed hill was a little overhyped if i may, maybe a full train would have filled out this element for me, personally i prefer the wave turn. Then theres the air time hill with a BLOCK BRAKE 🤬🤬🤬, the air time is still quite sustained, just interrupted. I remain out of my seat for nearly the entirety of the hill, still. The roughest moment of the ride comes next in that meandering turnaround before the final wave hill, which in the front right seat provides solid ejector, then a nice pop upwards and into the brake run. I almost forget there is no mid-course brake run, which just amps the points i give this ride. Now, i still havent ridden Fury, so this stands pretty high on my charts, the only thing it lacks is sustained speed, which the Intamins command. Id kill that mid course turnaround and add some straight track (yes, straight track!) after the first drop to send the ride further into the woods, and more straight track before or after the speed hill. Straight track at a high speed is always welcome in my book! Other than that, very well rounded ride.
Amazing video!
Thank You !!!!
Another (inter)stellar video/review, OKC. Top class, as always. Y'know I look forward to your videos. If you didn't then, you do now. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Great video as always! I suggested you for Amusement Labs’ upcoming project! 😊👍🏼 So there was one ejector moment on Orion???
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that!!! Yea that was my favorite moment
Absolutely! 😊 I love your content and enjoy hearing about your experiences!
Man love your videos, they're so good brother. I rode Orion on 7-2 and got a middle seat. I must say I was a little underwhelmed. This could be it being the first day, dealing with the masks and a slight gray put after the first drop. I've had six rides on it to date and let me tell you, I was wrong with my first assessment. It's really good, especially in the front seat. The theming they did in the area just buttons it up so nicely also. So happy we finally got her! Wished I could have seen you there man, hopefully in the near future!
Thanks so much for the support!!! Yeah i've heard it seems to get better each time to ride it......wish I could have got more than 1 ride!!
Update, I've had a few backseat rides now, Orion is now my favorite coaster at KI. It's magnificent!
I could not be excited for a coaster but when you talk about it I start to get excited but I was excited for this one but for some you really make me excited
Thank You !!!
I think Millenniums drop is more forceful but I realized I like B&M more you just have so much more freedom on those seats and the drop felt steeper
I’m suprised I rode 5x today and I thought the turning hill before the brake was the best airtime on the ride the speed hill was also good tho and the drop was amazing
Yeah that hill before the brakes was great
I’ll be riding it in less than a week! It’ll be my time soon!
Try to get front row man! It's amazing.
HonduDan thanks for the tip! Hopefully I can get it
@@sedricgranger I've gotten to ride front every time but the first time. Just ask them for front row and tell them you'll gladly wait for the spot. They'll throw you right on man.
Im going tomorrow. I cant wait to ride orion
Thanks for the heart man :D im gonna be leaving at 10 am from the time this comment was posted at 4:48 am. I woke up a little early lol
I love B&M speed hills. The one of Leviathan did not disappoint and I'm sure this one doesn't either :)
You have earned yourself a like and a sub !
Thanks so much for the support !!!!
You're addating skills are f*****g good
Did you see the new Canon R5? It’s nuts!!!
1st comment!! Excited to see the vid!
Lol, that is me sillouetted in the first shot 😂
Oh really? If that was you then you were rolling that day keeping those trains from stacking
The Helix near the end is stupid intense. And Orion is definitely my 2nd favorite Giga.
after riding orian 6 times in the last hour of the day without a fast pass or boarding pass, except for the endless drop and 2-3 airtime hills on orian, i like dimondback way better it feels like 5-6 airtime moments, they look to similar next to each other to, the next coaster should be, RMC of the beast with original layout, but new smooth track first 1/2 then most insayne brand new second section that is amazing, call it, the beast reloaded, so they can still sell all the original beast merch and stamp reloded on it ;) (that what they really care about) it was to rough it needs it, mystic timbers reminded me of mavrik too it was awsome low turny fun, great park tho
I was there wish I had seen you. Next time.
If you had to choose between Kings Island and Hersheypark for a visit, which would you pick and why?
Don't think I could pick........2 of my favorites......cant go wrong with either
What is your coaster count? Great video btw. Riding this in a few weeks
Thank you! I don't have the exact number but right at 200 give or take. Not near as many as some others
okaycoasters still more than me! It’s ok though cuz I just got back from my first cedar point trip
Fantastic video! Have you gotten to Six Flags Great America?
Thank You!!! Not yet hopefully soon
Okay coasters you did not speak of leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland which was the First Giga by B and M you should ride it to get all the giga credits and compare it to everyone
Yea I was hoping to get that credit this year but it may be next year now
Wow what a video
Brb going to get an okaycoasters tattoo across my forehead.
Oh no please don't haha
Yo great vid you should do a collab with the ry guy it would be a great vid
It slows down at the top so the drop is longer and on povs it's actually a bit linger
BBC level production, reminds me of the Classic Top Gear Car Reviews.
I really need to trim 100ilbs and do an East Coast coaster tour.
Thank you !!!
What was the music you used for the intro? I just watched another video about a game I like to play, and I heard the same thing and it sounded like it came from the game.
You should do a video ranking every Florida theme park
They got the voice actor for snot in american dad in the line!
i think i saw you recording in the line of orion. were you there monday?
I was thinking it was Sunday but you may be right......probably was Monday.
Orion was fun and the day I went, I literally walked onto the ride at 3pm. While Orion was fun, with the train not being fully loaded (and it has the SAME general length as diamondback and Magnum XL 200) to me it felt like it dragged and it was too short. Millenium DOES have 6500 feet of track and truly feels like a more 'complete' ride. The low speed hill was great, the trims took away from the 2nd airtime hills sadly. If Orion had diamondback style trains instead of the 4 wide it'd probably felt less draggy with the train empty and be more forceful. It was like Millennium force had a baby with Valravn IMO, but it's just my opinion. I also felt like Millennium, diamondback and Magnum had better airtime, and mystic timbers just keeps you enthralled from drop to shed.with it's constant "Maverick" style elements minus the inversions
I still like mystic timbers and diamondback better at King's Island
We do Teasers now👍🏼😲🤯 OKAYYY!!!!!
5:35, better than the grayout turnaround on i305, better than the treble clef on fury, damn im excited
For me much better than the turnaround on i305 (I like that too) and Fury..........Yup I do think its my single favorite moment. I need a few more rides tho.
I can't help but wonder if Firehawk would either still be here and maybe Orion would've been built somewhere else like behind Banshee or Firehawk would've been relocated to another park if Vekoma hadn't stopped manufacturing those parts that Firehawk needed in order to continue use operating.
Thats a good question!
OKAY!!!!
Lol
The trims wasn’t even on when I went on June 12 2021
is it better that millenium force?
I can't wait for your reaction to El Toro and Nitro they both have crazy air time.
El Toro is one of my favorites!
@@Okaycoasters oh yeah that's right. My bad. Quarantine has got me tripping
I slightly like diamondback better because of its airtime
I’ve ridden fury many many times and I do have to say Orions drop feels better!
It really surprised me........From the top all the way to the bottom
How?
Living in Columbus Ohio I love the war between the north and the south,, 😎
It's the best Giga Coaster in Ohio.
I got lucky and was able to ride Orion twice and holy crap this is insane. I was lucky enough to get row 2 and the back and while they were different, I have no idea which one I prefer. Overall it is a crazy good coaster and while it's not the best in the park, I can safely say that I believe it is better than Diamondback. Some people might disagree but this thing is away underrated and none of the POVs do it justice.
I agree much better than the POV. I also liked it much more than Diamondback
I mean, at least King's Island isn't California's Great America. We don't get crap. Now a bunch of office building have popped up around the park over the last 30 years and the city changed zoning which keeps the park from doing basically anything nice.
I was trying to find your top ten most underrated coasters video but I couldn't find it. Can you comment the link?
I am sorry......It is named 10 most forgotten....Thanks for looking for it
@@Okaycoasters Oh, I see it. Thanks!
